March 31st. After the most epic party this side of the mississippi, still drunk and for the most part lost, we (Jay, Pat, Jordan, and I) set out to find some rarely run creeks in the Northern Crazy Mountains. We were quickly scrubbed on acount of snowy roads. We then turned out attention towards the Absorka Mountains and the Boulder river. The Boulder was only running at 250 cfs, but when Pat, Joe Booth and I ran it last summer at 3000 cfs we portaged a class VI that was huge and manky.
Our mission on this warm sunny day in March was to find a boatable section of the manky class VI that we could have fun with. Along the way we got into some Montana style shennanigans. Rock trundling, Heavy machinery, and hang-over curing beers were all in order.
After our fun was had off the river we decided to scout out the gnarly section of the Hells Canyon of the Boulder. It was amazing how different the run looked at low flows. It was a different river. We quickly found the class VI portage and were stoked to find that there was a beautiful 10 footer nestled in the chunky boulder fields with a notch landing that had to be boofed just right.
For a few hours we sessioned the drop, trying out new boofing techniques and continuing with the shennanigans theme of the day.
Jordan and Jay (Jay's first big boof) both did awesome, lacing their lines and making it look like easy mac with some hot sauce on top. All in all it was a fun day in Montana, with plenty of boofin', rocks being pushed down hills, and logging equipment being driven.
